glocks go or K-blow??

based on you experience with the glock set up --all models and all cals.

does the glock "deserve" its internet rap of a "may-pop"?

myself i am sort of sitting on the fence --i have had three glocks all 22s and 31s all older series that have fired thousands and thousands of rounds since the 90s --with little to no issues at all.

now my shooting pal had a new 20 that didn't get through the first 10 factory rounds --regular ones ( a long time back)

there was a bunch of g22s/40s that k-boomed , then some 45s that k-boomed , then the 20 had a few booms early then started going boom again with the double tap loads--may be some more k-boom episodes i am not aware of as not every issue is posted with photos all over the internet--

now millions of these pistols are out there and most haven't had any problem.

since there are only a few reports of k-booms and at least some of these past k-booms were ammo or operator error -

-would you feel safe enough to fire double tap, BB or other factory hot load through you glock?

I have never experienced any issues with my glocks ( I currently own 3 ) but have never witnessed, but heard from a credible source that there are some issues with hand loads and "lower quality" ammunition. The worst I have heard was a Glock 23 being ruined by a hot hand load of .40 cal. Didn't see it though. I mostly shoot 9mm out of 2 of my Glocks and don't have any hiccups. My Glock 23 doesn't have any terrible issues, but had a pretty bad jam when I fired some deffective reloads.

Just stick with the stuff in a box and you should be fine IMHO.

.40s have an unsupported chamber where the feed ramp is, that and out of battery KaBooms seem to be reported frequently. Now the 9mm models have zero issue in that area, that we know about anyway. The basic design worked great with 9mm power levels but apparently didn't exactly translate 100% to larger calibers.
